10 Things I Prayed About Learning During My Time In Jamacia

Expectations....

Coming to Jamaica I knew I had to be prepared... There was no way I was coming this far from home, come to God's country in the mountains and not be prepared to have God pour into me.. God sometimes has to take us away from those things that we love to give us a different perspective on our situations... Speak Paul!!! Speak Moses....

So there are a few things that I prayed about before coming here....

Here are my expectations:

1).  God to expose me to others in ministry that look completely different from the ministry I am involved in

2).  Create a sense of humility not only within me but within others

3).  To reveal to me the work that God has for me within the California and Portland Neighborhood

4).  How to engage my fellow co-horts in the ministry on how important it is to become engaged in our surrounding community

5).  Flush out my concerns, strongholds, issues, resistance to becoming a leader in my community

6).  To change my vocabulary; I becomes we, we becomes us, us becomes the community

7).  How can our church (COBC and Grace Community) can become beacons of change within our perspective neighborhoods

8).  Allowing the Holy Spirit to shape, reform, mold, break, make and alter our thinking about community development, outreach and ministry

9). Reveal who God has assigned for us to link up with to carry out the ministry of change

10). TO ALLOW MYSELF TO OPEN UP TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TO BECOME OBEDIENT TO THE WORK OF THE LORD
